THE rapid advancement that has been made witfjin the past few years in archi- 
tecture, and tf-je varied styles qow in vogue, have made tfje question of 
house paiqting of greatest irqportaqce. Those who have qot given special 
study to the subject are little aware of tqe necessity, in paiqting' tqeir dwellings, 
of selecting colors in harmoqy with both surroundings aqd design. We preseqt 
herein as many styles of architecture as a limited space will permit. While our 
designs give as close a representation of the colors iqdicated as is possible, our 
chief airq has been to reproduce the effect, rather than the exact shades, of the 
colors suggested. These may serve as a hint for some, but most houses will 
require special treatmeqt, and in this we are always pleased to be of assistance 

if desired.

AS the cost of applying paint will average twice the cost of the material, it is 
of great importance that the paint employed should be of the best possible 
quality, as-th)e trifliqg additional outlay for rqaterial will be rr\any times 
repaid by th,e superior durability and satisfactory appearance of a first-class 
article. 

Ours are tf]e only prepared or liquid paints which, iq addition to the usual 
grinding and mixing, are ground whjle in the liquid state. 

This second grinding brings the oil and pigments into more intimate combina- 
tion, and gives a uniformity of consistency not to be obtained by rqere rqixings. 

Upoq request, we will illustrate any of the combinations showq or indicated 
herein with actual samples of our paints, or will specially treat any buildings of 
which a full descriptioq, photograph, or plans can be submitted to us, and we will 
be pleased to forward by mail, on application, samples of 58 newest shades and 
colors with instructions for using, price iist, etc.
